SEE KIWI IN THE WILD!
Encounter the wildlife and see the rare brown kiwi, weka and pateke/brown teal duck that roam the park freely along with up to 55 species of native birds amongst the native bush surrounding the park.
Our holiday park offers a rare opportunity to see kiwi in the wild. As night falls, you’ll hear their distinctive calls echo through the native bush—and with a rise in recent guest sightings, you might even spot a kiwi in its natural habitat. While our Kiwi Trail winds through the bush at the rear of the park, sightings often happen closer than you’d expect—right around the firepit or along the bushline at the edge of the park.

Experience the magnificent night sky made possible with limited light pollution in the area. Check out the big eels in our pond, our cave weta staying in their hotel and another favourite of ours the beautiful Californian Quail that wander around.
We are proud to be predator free and have invested in actively ridding the park of the most damaging introduced predators that threaten our nation’s natural taonga, abundant native wildlife and forests. 2019 & 2021 Winner of the Predator Free NZ Holiday Park Award.
